Beads of an Autumn Shower

Sharp and crisp

an autumn rain

laying like cold diamonds on old leaves.

Gives me a special sight,

but yet a shiver.

for soon this liquid diamond

shall be a crystal .

 A fluid return shall be far away

and the leaves..gone

~JE Ted Gardner

Autumnal Shades

"Keep your face always toward the sunshine,

and shadow will fall behind you."

~Walt Whitman

Avian Party

These American Robins

enjoyed a drunken feast of Mountain Ash berries

After several frosts these berries began to ferment

and when you have 15 plus Robins full of the juice,

some casualities are bound to happen!

2 dead bouncing off windows,

and the rest with hangovers the next day.

Never drink and fly!

Its a Bee Baby!

Tricyrtis

Toad Lily

A flower the size of your thumb nail

so intricate with detail and colours.

A native of China it blooms in late fall here.

a small final gem of our garden

Glory in The Morning

"A Morning Glory at my window

satisfies me more than the

metaphysics of books"

Red Breasted Nuthatch
